Both Versions of the CETME LV: Enosa and SUSAT

This review covers the Marcolmar CETME L, a 5.56x45mm rifle built from unissued parts kits, offering historical accuracy and modern features like a Picatinny rail. It highlights the rifle's performance with Federal American Eagle ammunition, its unique side bolt hold-open, and practical tips for finish preservation. The Marcolmar build is compared favorably to older HMG versions, emphasizing attention to detail and authentic components.

This review of the CETME LC highlights its roller-delayed blowback action and ASMR-style demonstration of its mechanical sounds. The video showcases manual magazine loading with IMI Systems 5.56mm M193 ammunition and a live-fire test demonstrating recoil and rapid-fire capabilities. Key technical specifications include a 12.6-inch barrel and approximately 7.5 lbs weight.

The CETME LC (Corto/Short) is a carbine variant of the CETME L, featuring a shortened 12.6-inch barrel and a collapsing metal stock. Internal redesigns were necessary to accommodate the stock, moving the recoil spring forward into the receiver and adding mass to the bolt carrier. Despite these changes, it retains many standard CETME L components for manufacturing efficiency. The LC is only slightly lighter than the standard rifle due to the heavier metal stock.

This review compares the semi-automatic CETME Model L rifles from Hill & Mac Gunworks (HMG) and MarColMar Firearms. MarColMar focuses on authentic markings, correct receiver flares, and new-production furniture for a refined look, while HMG uses original surplus parts for a 'battle-worn' aesthetic. Key differences include receiver construction, surface finish, and the quality of recoil springs, with MarColMar's new springs offering improved reliability.

This video from Military Arms Channel (MAC) delves into the STANAG (Standardization Agreement), clarifying that it extends beyond just the AR-15/M16 magazine. The host discusses various optics used on rifles like the CETME, FAL, M16, and G3 by NATO allies, specifically highlighting Spain. The discussion utilizes a CETME LV rifle made by Malcolmar Firearms for demonstration.

This Q&A session covers a wide range of firearm-related topics, including comparisons of modern and historical firearms (PS-90 vs MP-7, Desert Tech MDR vs WA2000, G41, TT33/PPS 43 vs 1911a1/M1928a1 Thompson, M14/M1A vs BM59, PTR-32), ammunition effectiveness in modern warfare (5.56mm), long-term ammo storage, optic choices in competition, the future of rifle platforms beyond the AR-15, 2-Gun match design challenges and lessons learned, the success of Brownells retro products, SMG match availability, the Desert Eagle's suitability for competition, French surplus ammo quality, promoting matches, favorite personal firearms, the use of cover in stage design, bipod utility, parts kit builds, C&Rsenal projects, worst firearms (Terminator shotgun, Zip 22 pistol, worst rifle), and the potential impact of NFA repeal on match design. It also touches on non-firearm related topics like fencing and viewer-supported content.

This video details the unique 'French Finger Trap' issue with the MAS-36 rifle's bayonet, where two rifles can become unintentionally locked together. A 1951 French arsenal memorandum identified this problem, proposing a simple modification to the bayonet handle. Drilling a small hole allows a tool, like a firing pin, to depress the internal spring, enabling the separation of locked rifles.

The M134 Minigun is a scaled-down 7.62 NATO rotary cannon, requiring 24V DC power and consuming 1.5 kW. Its high rate of fire (3,000+ RPM) is essential for aircraft engagement windows. The complex delinker mechanism is critical for feeding ammunition, and practical hand-held use is impossible due to weight and recoil. Live fire demonstrates rapid ammunition consumption and the need for indirect aiming.

The H&K G11 is a revolutionary prototype assault rifle designed in the late 20th century, notable for its caseless ammunition and unique rotating drum bolt mechanism. Despite advanced features like a 2000 RPM burst fire rate and integrated optics, its development was ultimately halted by geopolitical shifts and cost concerns.

This video demonstrates the assembly and live-fire of the German 1936 pattern light mortar (L.Gr.W.36). It highlights the mortar's leveling mechanism for accuracy and the difficulty in visually tracking its 50mm projectiles after firing. The content showcases historical military hardware and its operational use.
